[samiaseo222]

The influx of cheaper agricultural products from Mercosur countries, such as beef, poultry or sugar, could lead to a significant drop in prices in Europe. Polish farms, which comply with strict EU standards, may find it difficult to compete on price. Production in Mercosur countries is cheaper because standards for environmental protection, animal welfare and the use of pesticides and antibiotics are less stringent than in the EU.

Lower production costs in Mercosur may put pressure on jordan email list Polish farmers, forcing them to cut costs or abandon production of certain commodities. Farmers may need government support, for example in the form of subsidies or special assistance programmes, to adapt to the new situation.

In addition, consumers may be tempted by lower prices for imported products, which will reduce demand for local products, even if they are of higher quality. Polish agriculture, especially small and medium-sized farms, may be the most vulnerable to these changes.

Industrial sector: new export opportunities

The Mercosur-EU agreement opens the doors to new markets for Polish industry , especially in machinery, tools, vehicles and industrial products. Mercosur countries are fast-growing economies with a growing demand for high-quality technological and industrial products. In this context, Polish companies can benefit from their experience in the production of agricultural machinery, construction tools or automotive components.

In addition, dairy exports to Mercosur can become an opportunity for Polish producers in this sector. Products such as cheese, butter or milk powder can be attractive in these markets, where consumers increasingly value European quality standards.

However, despite these opportunities, Polish industrial companies may face challenges from price competition and the need to comply with local regulations and technical requirements . Proper preparation for entry into the Mercosur market, including collaboration with local partners and support from EU institutions, will be key.
